Hi, Elizabeth,
I've done some nutrition activities with my students. I was surprised when I found out they didn't even know how foods were categorized (fruits vs veggies vs meat, etc.). Could you work from the food pyramid, and maybe do a day for each portion of the pyramid? You could read books (Look for Lois Ehlert's works--so good!), taste, graph, sort, and pattern. I also had a fun idea to cut out pictures from grocery store ads, paste them on sentence strips, and put them in a 3-ring binder. You could have the kids classify them by food type, or you could. I wanted to turn it into a shopping center--kids could buy foods from different portions of the pyramid--maybe put prices under each food and buy with pennies? Anyway, food! Yay! Do lots of reading and cooking, you'll be good! Have fun!
